Hands down the best massage I've ever had. I have had a few massages by Claire, each one as good as the other. You need not look any further. Pick up a fabulous soy candle on your way out. Thank you so very much Claire for providing such a wonderful experience for all of your fortunate clients. Claire's spa is going full throttle on making sure everything is clean, sterile & inviting. read more

Claire is amazing! I've been going to her for 4 hours and her technique has helped me through muscle tension and fatigue from workouts. Go see her she's the best! read more

I gave Claire's Massage Studio a second chance and was very impressed by the quality of the service I received. My massage therapist's name was Kaitlin, and she did an amazing job. I have had many massages in my life but was impressed with her technique. I would go back again and recommend this place to a friend of family member. read more

I've been seeing Claire now for over 5 years, and she is unquestionably the best massage therapist I've ever worked with going back 30 years. She is very professional, and her studio is clean and quiet. Claire is very attentive to what's happening with my body, always starts by asking me how I'm feeling and where I need focus for that session. Her athletic background and training allows her to provide the deep tissue work I need, which combined with her strong knowledge of anatomy and physiology makes for a great experience. Claire is amazing, and I'd give her more than 5 stars if I could! Very highly recommended!! read more

As always they feel and know exactly what do they need to work on. Super professional and I always leave relax and I sleep like a baby.

I had such a great experience at Claire's with my one hour Swedish massage that I bought an hour for my boyfriend as well. We both felt wonderfully spoiled after leaving her peaceful sanctuary in Lafayette; (it's just her working, so no simultaneous couple's massage,) but her firm pressure and experienced hands exceeded both of our expectations independently. The soothing environment and comfortable bed really set the tone for the relaxing and destressing massage, but honestly it takes real talent to leave me feeling as good as I did when I left her studio! I love her and highly recommend her services. read more

Review #187 - 2019 Getting older really sucks, big time!! Having a child at an older age makes it even harder on a woman's body. I don't think I've had a real good night's sleep since I had my daughter about 3.5 years ago. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE her dearly, but it takes a toll on my body. Lately, I've been feeling a lot of aches & pains all over, especially my neck & shoulders. I have to admit that using my iPhone a lot doesn't help with that either. When I saw an offer on Groupon for Claire's Massage, I decided to Yelp her to read all the reviews to get an idea of whether it would be worth my money & time. I couldn't get a weekend appointment so I opted for an appointment on Tuesday, July 23rd, at 11:30 AM. I showed up about 20 minutes early & went to knock on her door. She asked me to go back out & sit in the waiting area until my appointment time. At first, I was kind of put off, but after she called me back in, we warmed up & got started on my massage. She asked if there were any specific areas that I needed extra attention & I mentioned that my left shoulder & arm could use some extra work, since I'm left-handed. She spent the whole hour working on every knot & tightness on my body, some I didn't even know existed. I swear, it hurt so badly when she was massaging my shoulders, but in a good way. I could tell that she was trying really hard to get rid of all the tension from my neck. I felt super sore afterwards, but all that built up tension from years of stress & carelessness on my body was eased & relieved in a matter of an hour. Wow! I only wish I'd found her sooner so I didn't have to live with all that unnecessary pain for so long. I can't wait until my next session next month! read more

Teresa is by far the best massage therapist I've ever had. She has amazing hours, which work super well for me since I'm in healthcare and I rarely get off at 5pm. I feel so relaxed and rejuvenated after my massage. Thank you! read more

Claire and Paul are amazing! You will be in great hands with either massage therapist. They have a way of finding all the tension points and melting away those aches and pains. Every time I leave, I feel so relaxed. read more

I found Claire through Groupon and am so happy I did. She was easy to book an appointment with and was able to get me in the same week I called. She has a calm and gentle nature about her that immediately put me to ease. I like that she is polite and asks if the pressure is ok but also works quietly so I can relax and enjoy her hands helping my stiff shoulder relax. She gave a great massage and also a very relaxing head massage that I loved. Claire is a sweetheart and you can't help but like her. I definitely felt more relaxed after an hour with her. Thanks Claire! read more

My previous sports massage therapist stopped practicing in the area and I found Claire through a Groupon. I am a triathlete and spend a large portion of time swimming, biking and running, which also means that I frequently need help releasing the knots and tension that build in my muscles. After my first visit with Claire, I immediately booked my next appointment. The pressure she applies is just perfect and she always checks in with you to make sure you are doing okay and the pressure is working for you. I felt immediate relief after our first session. Claire also gives an amazing cranial massage, something that is often overlooked by many therapists. Claire's studio is small but she has everything she needs to provide top notch massage services that you would get at a full service spa. The complex she is in also has plenty of free parking. I highly recommend Claire. read more

As a competitive powerlifter/bodybuilder, it's important for me to get a massage. Claire's massages definitely help me recover quickly from muscle soreness. She is very personable and very attentive. John P read more

Those looking for a relaxing massage experience might not find that here. Scheduling any appointment- especially a massage- should be easy, not stressful. I called three times to schedule an appointment using my groupon, and left a message each time in a generic voicemail box with no professional greeting or any business identification info- just a robot telling me that the person was not available. I get that masseuses often are unable to answer calls, but at least a "hello, this is so and so please leave a message..." Would have been encouraging. Two of my calls were never returned at all. Maybe this business doesn't care about losing a potential customer... But I imagine they will lose more with this sort of poor service . read more

My wife and I scheduled massages with Claire for our 22nd wedding anniversary. I found Claire's studio relaxing, comfortable, and well maintained. The massage received from Claire was right on point. She listened to my comments about areas of my body that needed extra attention. She was able to provide the right pressure for both my wife and I. I would recommend using Claire to family and friends. Anthony read more

I've been seeing Claire for about 6 months now, and I am thankful everyday. She is a wonderful and thoughtful person. She loves what she does and truly wants each customer to have the best experience possible. She'll even tell you that and it's true. I've been a professional dog walker for more than 2 years and it takes a toll, particularly on my legs. Claire finally gave me something many great therapists in the Bay Area couldn't. Like I said before, she loves to give massages, and she has a lot of talent. But for me, best of all she is a professional at body therapy. She is constantly tuning my body so that when I go back to work, it's easy again. For that, I am most thankful. read more

Claire is great! Only place in the east bay where I've found cupping. Easy location to get to with ample parking.

Had a deep tissue massage with Chris this past weekend. He did a really great job! I arrived at the studio experiencing pain in my shoulder and upper back/neck. Chris really worked out the knots in my back and l left feeling revived and refreshed. Would recommend this studio to anyone in need of a massage! read more

Claire knows her stuff. One of the best massages I have ever had and I have had many. Her environment is transformed into a peaceful place from the outside world and she has strong hands. read more

I can pay Claire and her expert services no better compliment than to say when I left her studio, I felt beautiful. I felt blissful and light and free. It was an exquisite experience, and some of the best time and money I've ever spent! I've been going through a rough patch in the ol' personal life and I thought I would treat myself to a massage to help unwind and reconnect with the zen part of myself. I'd only had one professional massage before and while it was good, it wasn't the experience I wanted. I wanted the kind of massage you see in movies, with darkness and candles and flowers and music and all that stuff. So I kept my eyes peeled on the discount websites for a deal that I couldn't pass up, and soon on Amazon Local Claire's coupon appeared, a deep discount for a 60 minute massage. I Yelped her and saw those 5 glorious stars, and purchased without hestiation! I was able to book my appointment with her over email for a post-work massage about 2 weeks out, and she honored my request for swedish massage as opposed to deep tissue no problem, and also allowed me an aromatherapy upgrade. Her kindness and flexibility was so wonderful! I spent weeks looking forward to my appointment! Upon arrival, locating her studio is a little challenging (some signs could be a little clearer) but it's pretty logical where she is. Her space is small but welcoming, and you are enveloped in the calming and sensual darkness of the experience the moment you walk in the door. Claire was very sweet and soft spoken, and answered my questions no problem and allowed me to personalize my experience as needed (several options for aromatherapy were offered, I chose teatree; she also asked about likes and dislikes, and where I wanted her attention focused). For an hour, I just relaxed and blissed out under her incredible touch. I have a theory about Certified Massage Therapists - they have to be able to turn their hands into tentacles to pass, because I don't know how it's possible that human hands can do those things. And CMTs are always these sweet petite women with POWER! Such remarkable sensations all over my stiff neck and back, and the bliss of the massage of my thumb muscle! Oh, heaven. For an hour I just relaxed and enjoyed the soft ambient music, the gorgeous smells, and the bliss of my body's pampering. I would occasionally drift into fever dreams of flowers and waterfalls and beaches and sunsets, all the beautiful things of this world colliding in my head as I felt my stress and cares melt away. I left an hour later feeling like I was walking on a cloud, or floating just above my body. A girl could get used to this. I realized on my drive home that I was absentmindedly humming to myself in my euphoric state, and then noticed what I was humming - CHRISTMAS SONGS! In August. THAT is how happy I was. :) While the standard fee of $80 will be a litlte steep to be a regular habit, I am SO grateful to have been introduced to Claire and her spectacular massages. Whenever I feel the stresses and tensions of the nonsense of life start to creep in and make me weary again, she will be the one I call. We could ALL use a little more flowers and waterfalls, a little more Christmas in August, a little more float and bliss. read more

This was the first time I had a massage from Claire, I was confused in the beginning where I was supposed to wait, now I know, I felt bad about that. My friend gave me a gift card for the massage. I was totally in need of a massage. the pressure was just right, the massage table was warm, and I was able to communicate with Claire while receiving the massage how much pressure, she was great with changing or adjusting the amount or pressure. It's just Claire here, this is her massage studio. I would totally reccomned getting a massage from Claire, I hope to get one again. read more

I saw Claire's Massage studio at Groupon. I went and tried it. I am glad that I did since Claire is really good and is able to properly release those muscle stiffness/tension and sore spots. I have been looking for a very good massage therapist in Walnut Creek . I am glad to have found Claire. She also offers various massage packages.I highly recommend her. read more

Claire's deep tissue massage is simply the best. I have been getting regular massages for almost 30 years, and this was one of the best by far. Claire has strong hands and applies just the right amount of pressure. I have been disappointed with massages at other spas in the area. Claire offers great service and reasonable prices, and there is nothing pretentious about her studio. Could not ask for more! read more

I recently relocated to the east bay area, and after receiving twice monthly massages for years, I started my local search for the magic touch. Fortunately with Claire I have found the perfect massage therapist for my body, mind, and spirit! She does phenomenal deep tissue work, within minutes of my first massage I could feel the tensions in my body melting away. I feel blessed to have found my new massage therapist, and am looking forward to having a regular schedule of massages to help maintain my optimum health and vitality. Thank you Claire! read more

What a discovery!!!! Claire is a hidden little massage place offering spectacular body work at a great price. I hate going to high priced salons, never knowing what or who I'm getting. Results are always mixed. Claire is so soothing and great at what she does. Don't be fooled by the building exterior. She has created a great little oasis. Babbling sculptures and fresh water station all there - I will be back!! read more

I had my first massage with Claire this week. She is the consummate professional, totally devoted to her work and quality "customer care". I suspect the reviewer who had trouble reaching her did, indeed, dial the wrong number because Claire's responsiveness is extraordinarily quick and dilligent. I had to schedule, cancel, and reschedule more than once but never did Claire fail to get back to me promptly and also never showed any impatience with me, for which I was very grateful. Her studio location and set up is exceptional, peaceful, serene, easy parking, lots of trees and beautiful views -- like being in a park! Finally, Claire is very gifted and skilled, nurturing, easy to communicate with. I've gotten every kind of bodywork regularly for over 30 years. Claire is by far one of the best, also reasonably priced. You really can't go wrong here read more

Oh my goodness what a fabulous massage I just had! I was Leary of purchasing another Groupon deal for massage as my past experiences were bad. Claire is a true professional, her space was quiet and relaxing and I had one of the best massages I've had in years. Totally recommend her! read more

Claire's message is excellent. She will ask if there is a particular problem to work on. If none is requested she will find what needs work. She's strong and goes deep. Most of the time I like this type of message but on one occasion I asked for a lighter hand and that was enjoyable too. Claire is quiet and has a very nice way about her. She's always on time and has created a nice environment. read more

My first time at Claire's and I can add another five-star review to the many, many here. (Almost every one is five-star.) We spoke a great deal as Claire worked on me and I learned a lot about her. Yes, friendly relaxing atmosphere and an excellent massage. What she did to my neck and shoulders was tremendous. read more

I have been going to Claire for almost a year and she really knows her stuff. I'm an active soccer player and starting seeing Claire to help me after recovering from a broken leg. Not only has my leg fully recovery, but I have full range of motion back and flexibility with no more stiffness pain thanks to Claire. She is the best massage threapist I have ever been to and I have been to a lot to know a great one. She truly has a gift for being a great massage threapist. read more

My husband gifted me with a massage from Claire on my birthday, and it was the first time I had been to her massage studio. I have been getting massaged throughout my adult life, and Claire is really good! She's strong, responsive, sensitive, totally professional. I left feeling completely relaxed, and grateful that my husband has found a masseuse we can return to for special occasions! read more

I have been getting monthly massage therapy from Claire for over a year now and have been extremely delinquent in writing this review. Claire is an excellent massage therapist and provides sports massage and deep tissue massage better than all of the local massage therapists I've seen in the Bay Area. Claire is extremely attentive and can tell where I've built up muscle tension and where to focus -- her massage therapy is tailored to her client's needs and I leave every session feeling extremely relaxed and ready to hit the sports courts again! read more

I don't do this very often but I just had too. I just came home from Claire's Massage Studio usually I wait for the next day to review a massage studio. You never know what the next day will bring when you get out of bed. Well, I am a 68 year old man, Don't say anything us, old geesers need massage once in a while also. In 68 years you collect a lot of pain and sore mussels. I finally got up the courage and nerve to see a massuse.That was last year. Today I had a wonderful 75 minute massage from Clair. Let me tell you guys I was in heaven for those 75 minutes, I almost fell a sleep. During the massage she sprayed my back with something called "BIOFREEZE" That was really great I am still feeling it 3 hours after it was applyed. I'm am going to get me some more of that!!!! I just want to say something to the over the hill gange out there. GO GET A MASSAGE!!! You won't beleve how much better you will feel and don't be all shy and stuff . SHE will not bite, At least she promised she wouldn't. You are covered and Clair is VERY PROFESSIONAL. OH, one more thing you young people out there. You cant go wrong making an appoint with Clair she is worth every penney. Jim I got a Groupon coupon which really made it cheap. read more

I found Claire thru Group. It is the most wise groupon deal I've had so far. It was definitely one of the best massage experience I've had. This was actually my first time posting review on YELP. Usually I just read other people's reviews. After my experience today, I feel like I have to write a review for Claire. I love her and cannot wait to recommend her to other people who love massage. It really relaxed my stiff neck, shoulder and back. Claire is excellent!!!! I love the pressure she put and also the way she did it. Definitely going back and highly recommend!!!!! read more

Claire's massage studio is not your luxury spa, but her massages are definitely one of the best I've ever had. I've been getting massages for 30 years, and it is rare that a masseuse will actually work on the things I ask her to work on. Claire did just that. The pressure was spot on, breaking up lots of accumulated tension from the stress and activity related to a move. I asked her to work on my ankles, feet and calves, almost always sore from years of athletic abuse and injury. She dug deep, and really worked out a lot of the kinks. I was so pleased that I booked my next appointment for two weeks later. read more

I've been a massage enthusiast for many years (for stress and sore muscles). I've been looking locally for a long time for a really good masseuse and fortunately I found Claire. She is lovely, kind, and personable. Most importantly, I always feel so much better after her massages. I can honestly say that she is my favorite masseuse of all time and that says a lot. I see her regularly and highly recommend her. read more

The best massage I have ever had. I was in quite a bit of pain when I went in and Claire was able to work out all of my knots. I left feeling very relaxed and pain free. I highly recommend Claire; very kind, professional and experienced . Clean and comfortable studio. Will definitely go back very soon! read more

OMG!!! I got a 75 minute deep tissue massage and it was wonderful. Claire managed to find all of my knotted muscles and then some. The ambience and music were both perfect and Claire came across as very nice and professional. I left feeling totally relaxed. I will definitely be a repeat customer! read more

Both my daughter and I had massages and loved it! Claire was very skilled and listened to what our needs were, offered a pleasant atmosphere, and we walked away much more relaxed than when we walked in! ;) read more
